Halloween is a time for sweet treats and scary surprises and Kamloops doesn't plan to disappoint.
It is a week of fangtastic fun during Fright Week at Fun & Games where until Halloween you can take night tours and haunted maze tickets get you special deals on tokens and virtual reality.
Dr. Padova's Halloween Carnival started yesterday, Oct. 26, but you haven't missed all the fun because it will be at Tranquille Farm Fresh until Oct. 28. The carnival starts at 5:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. There are plenty of spooky tunnels and buildings to bring life to the spirit of Halloween.
Does an old courthouse sound scary? Well the one in Kamloops is haunted. The ghouls and spectres are making their appearance at the 2nd Annual Haunted Olde Courthouse until Oct. 29.

Today Nights of Fright is taking place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. by Sunset Valley Farm at 3275 Tranquille Road. Creatures lurk in the corn maze and witness the fate of those who dared to bargain with the chainsaw massacre. You can purchase your tickets online or at the door.

The science centre says dress up in your Halloween finest and explore GROSS Science. You can make fake blood, Gloop-to-go, and try out some scary sensory touch boxes. It should be boo-tifully educational and fun.
It's not only the dead that come out for Halloween, sometimes superheroes make an appearance and this time they are going to be dancing.
